I'm a second-degree nurse who has worked in telemetry, orthopedics, surgical services, oncology and at times as a travel nurse. As a CCRN certified critical care nurse I've worked in cardiac, surgical as well as trauma intensive care nursing. After five years as a Diploma educated RN I attained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am now a full-time Nurse Practitioner student. I've been in healthcare for the past 15 years.
